action
The beautiful Helene, who hides a brand on her hand under a black glove that she always wears, grew up among crooks. Her buddy André equips her with everything she needs for her future crimes. The first thing she should do is marry the Duke of Komarov in order to get hold of his fortune as quickly as possible. When the noble gentleman suddenly dies one day, Helene is immediately suspected. She is arrested and sentenced as a murderer. It's André who frees her from prison.
But he does not do this out of pure goodness - rather he has already planned Helene for his next coup: She is to marry the ambassador Gonter de Rieux (other sources call him Vicomte de Gontrau). But this time it's not about money, André, who was employed by Helene as her personal servant, is after important secret files of the Count. André then donates the documents and leaves Helene behind. Helene's feelings for the viscount, however, are real, and so the repentant sinner tries to get the files back for her husband. In doing so she finds death.

Reviews
“Although the plot is built entirely on real ground, the artist knows how to have a fantastic effect and consequently also how to put the viewer's imagination into action, so that that state is brought about which we usually call 'exciting'. The value of a film is rightly assessed according to whether it has an exciting plot, since this applies here, so it will surely find the fullest approval. We can only confirm its quality values "
